US rates close with the 10-year at 5.21%
US Treasury close for 2026-10-13: 2Y 4.79%, 10Y 5.21%, 30Y 5.56%; 2s10s 42 bp. Market data and edition dates are shown separately.
The session lacked a single dominant maturity, so the useful information sits in the relationship between the front end, belly and long end. The 10-year finished at 5.21%, down 3.0 bp from the previous official observation.
Rates in context
At the policy-sensitive end, the 2-year closed at 4.79% (-1.0 bp). Five-year yields ended at 5.00% (-2.0 bp), while the 30-year finished at 5.56% (-4.0 bp).
The curve beneath the headline
A positive 42.0 bp 2s10s spread left the curve flatter by 2.0 bp. The 5s30s spread stood at 56.0 bp, a 2.0 bp narrowing, while 1s10s finished at 73.0 bp.
What BondStats is watching
Long-duration yields moved more than the 2-year point. The shape change matters because it separates a long-end repricing from a uniform parallel shift in rates.
BondStats computes these comparisons from official US Treasury daily par yield-curve observations. They are indicative par yields, not transaction prices. Causal claims are deliberately excluded unless a separate primary source establishes them.
